xine workes fine for me. I just emerged libdvdnav first thing to make sure everything needed was installed. I just have to be sure to click on the "Nav" button after loading and dvd and then the play button.

well i ran 'emerge xine-dvdnav''then xine-ui' , i think that covered most all of it...i have a dvd from the new dmb cd 'busted' thats playing now. the player gui is cool adn the display looks pretty good.

do you need d4d and d5d, do they add more versatility to playing encrypted dvd's or are they for handling different formats?

I personally like Ogle better,
the guil is a little ugly, but I prefer the simplicity of 1 tool 1 job to the xine method of playing anything video related... clicking 3 buttons to start a DVD to me is retarded and unintuitive, when I can just type /dev/cdroms/cdrom1, hit enter, and walla ogle pops up the movie.
